What is Product Graveyard?
I'm Tang, an indie hacker, and I'm very grateful for you to come and see my new product. If you're like me, developing many of your own products, but unfortunately they were not successful, I invite you to place them in the "Product Graveyard".
Problem
Indie developers often invest time and resources into developing products that unfortunately do not succeed, leading to a situation where these products go unrecognized and the lessons learned from their failures are not shared. The drawbacks of this old situation include products going unrecognized and lessons from failures not being shared.
Solution
Product Graveyard is a platform where indie developers can share their failed projects. Users can submit their products, giving them a place to be recognized for their efforts and to share valuable insights about why the product failed. The core features include the ability for users to submit their failed products and share the story behind their product's journey and failure.
Customers
Indie developers who have experienced product failure and are looking for a place to share their story and learn from others.
Unique Features
The unique aspect of this solution is its focus on learning from failure. Unlike other platforms that celebrate success, Product Graveyard provides a space specifically for sharing and analyzing product failures.
User Comments

Traction

Market Size
The specific market size for platforms focused on product failure and lessons learned is not readily available. However, considering the vast number of startups that fail each year, the potential audience could be significant. For example, approximately 90% of startups fail.
